Abstract
The press technique has made an important contribution in the field of all-ceramic restorations, as it not only offers a wide range of indications but also provides excellent esthetic results.
With the numerous long-term clinical results available today, glass-ceramics restorations are perfectly suited for both traditional single-crown and fit perfectly into the field of minimally invasive solutions.
Thanks to the extensive experience we have today with pressed ceramics, we will discuss in detail important selection criteria that will help you choose the right material translucency and the right type of restoration related to the clinical situation.
In order to achieve highly aesthetic results for the different clinical situations, it is important to evaluate each clinical case on the basis of various parameters. In addition, in-depth knowledge of the available ceramic materials in terms of their physical and aesthetic properties is essential to make the right decision for the treatment plan.
